I concur.

hey. did you know that there is a hole? if its removed then when you look through it then you will see THROUGH the rl completely.

i believe its there but a bitmap makes it look like a hole is there.

so! there is a hole.

ok like in Merk's Sigma sharpshooter

he removed part of a Model Cylinder makeing half of the cylinder see through IF warlord did this the same thing would happen.

this is also visible in caboose (cant remember whos model pack) it has a rocket launcher and the cannon is see through.

the BITMAP is what makes it not see through and sometimes the bitmap dosnt go where it should when you move it or it shows up where you moved it and not where its supposed to cover.

Or you could have just said the alpha blending wasn't nulled out in the shader, and due to the stretched and mis-aligned UV's it make stuff invis that it shouldn't have.

Or....

Stuff wasn't done to stuff, so stuff did stuff it shouldn't do where it shouldn't be because of stuff.

Did you make the front into a tube instead of a flat surface? I suggest you close off the front and let the RL barrel's big black spot hole simulation cover it. Sure, it's not as realistic, but it'll get rid of that annoying model hole. By the way, the model ingame looks different than the one in the render.

your right and wrong there
rail guns and gause cannons both use the same method of shooting
small electromagnets that are lined up in or on the barrel, and activate in succsession so that it pulls the bullet along the barrel and launches it without the explosion, also it provides more thrust since it dose not involve expanding gasses, wich will compress some when shooting and take away some vital thrust. but yes they have a kick, not as much as normal chemical guns, but still enough to bruise depending on the size+velocity setting

The point of a shield is to guard your face. Not guard the guy next to you or the *air* ?

meh, looks ok. you got a stray vertice. tapered barrel doesn't look good, imo.

also, don't forget that gauss and rail cannons use compressed air bursts to start the projectile moving.

i always thought railguns used magnets to shoot it's projectiles
